I do have valid use cases. We've had examples of important packages having been 
pushed stable too quickly and breaking some computers (think kernel, mesa). The 
bodhi comments can then be used to provide a description of the problem, 
suggest any workarounds or fixes, and also link to more information e.g. in the 
bugzilla or common bugs wiki, etc. The Bodhi pages are easy to find (if I 
perform a system update and the computer breaks, I look at what was included in 
the last update, and look at any bodhi feedback for those packages), so it 
makes perfect sense to inform people there. It's much harder to search bugzilla 
to find issues with a particular package.

So, the ability to comment post-push should remain. However, it would make 
sense to tweak email notifications somewhat (so that everyone is not spammed 
with each new comment long after the package is pushed stable). That's what I 
assume annoys people.
